Good news is the OP of the white EMO has put the car up for sale!

Bad news is he's forgotten to mention the small bit of damage in his advertisement.

Wow...just wow :blink:

Having been on a track day with this guy I'm thanking my lucky stars that he was in a different group to me :ph34r:

I was in that group, there were a few kamakazi drivers there and almost got cleaned out by a few of them, he just happened to be the chosen one who pushed it too far and assumed wrongly. Packed up my stuff and left half way through the day after the incident as its not worth risking my car.

Not the organisers fault as they can only do so much. But hope that the guys really bust balls at the next driver briefing as I have always loved attending their well run days. If people think because they are faster than me I don't deserve to be on the same track as them despite having paid the same entry fee....and they are not told to pull their head in by clerk of course then I will soon voice my concerns and go home as well :(

Realistically if people know who this person actually is... Should be highlighted to AASA / CAMS & see to it the license should perhaps be cancelled. Person clearly have a warped perception of what is safe and it's not only putting themselves in danger and more incidents, but other people as well.

Give the guy a chance to learn from his mistake....up to officials to report him and note on his licence. Not sure we have enough info to lynch the guy But if you supply the beers then i can hunt around for some tar and feathers

different events across the state, different officials - different organisers. Never going to get the same people.

The only common point is the guys attitude/skill is just wrong! Even if it's just to sit him down in front of a few people to tell him it has to stop before there is more damage - perhaps even a death by putting someone into a wall?

The Gumtree ad said sold. lol.

If its the bloke who I narrowed it down to, he is not new, and competed in many events in many types of cars.

Attitude is the issue. Not lack of experience.

^ This. Although I thought you said Evotards couldn't drive to save themselves... :P

As someone who enjoys those tampered days I'd really like to know who the guy is (someone PM me), though the car is easy enough to identify.

I commented on the MX-5 youtube vid yesterday about how he was in the wrong and the comment was deleted, another similar comment appeared this morning which I've replied to so we'll see how long they last.

No doubt the camera car is in the wrong and if the guy can run a 27 around Winton he must be able to steer half decently, that sayd nothing for his etiquette or as I mentioned on Youtube his racecraft.

I know my times well and report them honestly but I always find I am in a category with cars that are considerably faster and slower than me which makes me wonder if some people either don't know their times or report them inaccurately so they can feel awesome blasting past everyone. I've said before I think the groups should be re-ordered part way through the day as drivers put down faster times.

I get, and try to abide by, the passing on straights only or only when waved through but I'll admit that there's been times when I've been on a hot lap and know it's a good time where I've taken a greater risk to pass someone at speed on a corner who did not wave me through, partly because it's costing me money to be there and I'm there to set times and partly because sometimes people have you sit behind them for half the bloody track before they will wave you through.

The issue is also one of balance as you get things like XR6 Turbos hammering down straights then holding you up through every corner, as the MX-5 guys will be acutely aware.

I think there should be much stricter adherence to groupings based on lap times run not just reported and that people running beyond a certain time should be classified as being experience drivers who should know better and be punished accordingly when they get it so badly wrong.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
